What To Do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with half the cookie dough slices; with your fingers, spread dough to create a solid crust.

Bake 10 minutes, or until golden. Let cool.

Press remaining dough slices around sides of pan to create a side crust; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Beat in remaining ingredients until well combined. Spoon batter into crust.

Bake 10 minutes, or until crust is golden. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake 30 more minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven.

As someone suggested brushing egg wash on the crust before baking. I find that this makes my crust brown quicker. I make a ring out of foil and fit it around my crust half way thru the bake time. Also to prevent or at least help with cracking of the cheesecake, I bake mine in a ban Marie, (water bath). This really helps.

BEST CHEESECAKE EVER MADE. Can someone tell me why the cheesecake cracks when baking. Evert time I make any cheesecake they all crack. This cake is a must from now on the whole family enjoyed it. SOOOOO GOOD

I went to the original website and this recipe is nothing like the one they have posted! I guess this answer my question on the cookie crust! I will find another recipe because I refuse to spend that kind of money for burnt crust. The recipe sounded good but I believe I will pass on thisone thanks

edrzayich, I would check my oven temperature with an oven thermometer. I would also not rely on cooking spray (so popular with the calorie-avoidance crowd) to keep cookie dough from burning during nearly an hour of cooking when the cookies themselves bake up and set during, what, 15 minutes tops? I would grease the pan generously with Crisco and flour it.
Sunday I may have some time for baking and I'll try this. It sounds wonderful.

I made this cheesecake and it was absolutely delicious. The only problem was the cookie dough crust came out slightly burned. I would love this too make this again but how can I remedy the crust situation? Otherwise, it was the best cheesecake ever.

We sure don't mind leftovers of this creamy spaghetti; it's just as good or better the next day. The only problem is that our Layered Spaghetti Casserole is so lip-smacking good, you might not have any left!
